My UPS thing says they make the delivery some time before 3PM, but dunno if that is on a case by case basis or there general timeframe.

Checked my spam in gmail and sure enough DR is there to disappoint.

I'm always a little queasy about this, too... I did find out that you can sign up for "UPS My Choice" through ups.com and, once you get it all set up, you *should* able to request that a package be directed to "will call" at a UPS center to be picked up later. Worked out really well for some iPhones that I didn't want to have sit outside all day when I was at work, heheheh.

LOL!!! They give me a $20 coupon code to use towards anything and the regular edition is out of stock now. Do they want to sell games!?

Pre order Naruto

 

[140.85]

I'm going to print out the $20 coupon, go to DR and shove the paper up their ass. Yeah, each employee.

Spoiler

No, I'm not. Chill out FBI

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Pre order Naruto

Oh that was hilarious as well, jokers.

 

[Shrennin]

Pre order Naruto

Then he'll be guaranteed a $10 coupon to pre-order the next Namco-Bandai game because...whoops! They oversold Naruto!

 

[aliencowz7]

Oh that was hilarious as well, jokers.

Even if you don't like naruto, it's cool because they will just cancel your order once the release date comes around and not tell you about it.

 

[rumbalumba]

watch as namco will ignore this until the weekend comes.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

I will use this coupon, to buy namco, when they will gone to bankrupt.

 

[hawk2025]

Same thing as yesterday, shipping label printed but no progress so far.


I guarantee there's an empty box with my name on it at DR, lost in some corner

Guide's arriving today from Amazon, though, I'll probably just download the digital version at this point.

 

[Kyon]

Oh that was hilarious as well, jokers.

I was being serious. RIP I forgot you'd have to go through DR HAHAAA!! XD

[Busaiku]

Wait, I haven't kept up with things.
Are they canceling orders, even if you got them during the Ninostarter time?

 

[rumbalumba]

they're not reading these forums, and i doubt they're reading theirs.

go tweet these sons of bitches. https://twitter.com/namcogames

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Yes. Some people got cancellation. Namco facebook page and namco ni no kuni forum is in rage tsunami.

here's this clusterfuck of a company's twitter.

[Takuya]

What is a brokerage fee?

Ive yet to receive any emails, do Canada-August Orderers have any info for me?

I ordered in August, and my shipping label's been created with UPS, shipping to Montreal.

 

[hairypeckpeck]

the funny part about this whole thing...

now people are scrambling to get the regular edition only to get screwed over LOL

GG digital rivers. i dont think 20 bucks is worth dealing with your bullshit again

 

[MikeE21286]

here's this clusterfuck of a company's twitter.

https://twitter.com/DigitalRiverInc

How hilarious.

1. They refer to themselves as: "The revenue growth experts in global cloud commerce"

2. Their stock is up over the last several days

3. They host webinars on topics like ecommerce and digital strategy

 

[Nirran]

Currently on the phone again to see what's going on. I broke the first representative by asking questions. He gave me his supervisor when I demanded it. The supervisor told me they sold out in seconds and they forgot to change the site. In my moment of annoyance I told him to go shove it and I'm never dealing with them again. I'm so pissed that they decided it was great to cancel all these orders almost 3 days after release.

 

[ys45]

lol its back in-stock !

This is madness !

EDIT: Cannot order but it says in-stock on the right side

 

[TimeEffect]

Wow man, mail delivery truck pulls up in my driveway, but only to leave the truck there so that he can deliver ordinary mail to all the other houses.

THIS IS ALL AN ELABORATE PLAN TO PISS ME OFF!

 

[brainpann]

Just got off the phone with DR. The first cs I spoke with told me that both of my orders were still being processed and that they could not give me a time when they would be available to be shipped out. Then I asked to speak with a supervisor about the matter. Same song and dance BUT I told her I did receive a cancellation notice to which she replied that one of my orders will most likely be cancelled. Unfortunately, she was unable to tell me which. I then also mentioned that I would not have sprung for extra shipping had I know my order would be on hold indefinitely. She said that IF I get an shipping notice, to contact them and they will refund my shipping costs. That's something I guess. If I even get one. The customer service was very nice and apologetic, especially considering how much crap DR is putting them through today.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Dear Digital River,

FUCK YOU. i hope your company goes under.

I guess we ain't chillax'in no more.

I was tempted to make a similar joke but figured someone might beat me

LOL! I'm so glad that I'm not alone in noticing Rumbalumba's change in attitude. I feel bad for all the January orders, but his swift change has been providing me with a few laughs.

On a serious note, I hope all orders placed during the original NiNoStarter campaign are filled and shipped by the end of the day.

 

[TentPole]

So how did these guys manage to get there hands on over 200 copies to sell for $199 to $399 a pop?

Good news Canadians!
I just called UPS with my tracking number and the CSR confirmed that the seller will be paying the brokerage fees!


If you want to check yourself, the number I called: 1-800-742-5877, option 1 for English, option 3 for brokerage inquiries.

Great! Thank you for confirming it.
I don't mind waiting a long time for it. No brokerage is all I wanted.

Thank you very much for calling to confirm it.

While this has still been a disaster, it does improve my view of Digital River slightly. I am still unhappy about the lack of updates and the cancellations though. That is really poor service.

Thank you again khaaan and daevv.

YessSSsSssS.

Any reason to believe this won't be for all Canadian orders? I can't call now as I'm at work but I could try later unless there's no point.

 

[Shrennin]

They shouldn't have been able to. Just another stupid part of this entire fiasco.

 

[rumbalumba]

most likely they prioritized their playcanada orders instead of ours because they're binded by a contract.

Stole a box or ten from Digital River and that's why things got so oversold?

Plz no. We can't TAKE ;__;

Yeah, was like that this morning too.

 

[aliencowz7]

Mine just got to the front door, and theres a giant ass label on the box saying that the ni no kuni wizards edition is inside.

I feel for all you guys that have to leave it on your doorstep a while.

 

[Hobbun]

Every time I see that gif, it pisses me off. Hope that driver got fired.

He did.

Probably did. If the video is out there, the owner did something.

Edit: guess I was right

 

[CronosBlade]

For those wondering how it was shipped, it was in a box the same size as the WE with a few pieces of thin foam around it lol.

Two corners slightly bent, but not from the UPS box I'm guessing. Probably from the shrinkwrap on the box actually.

 

[Hobbun]

Good. Link didn’t open, but got the gist from the quote.

Thanks.

Mine was thankfully in perfect condition, I have never received a damaged package in the mail though. Guess the mailmen / UPS guys in this area aren't as careless.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

I ordered in August, and my shipping label's been created with UPS, shipping to Montreal.

Same here, Quebec city.

 

[Shrennin]

I just got off the phone with DR. I'm in limbo, apparently. She did say that cancellation emails at this point are legit and to check ups regularly along with a shipping confirmation regarding y status. Said to give it another 48 hrs.

I'm going to download off psn and go back to enjoying life

Do you have a shipping label created yet? Did you get a cancellation email? When did you order it? This is madness.

 

[Shrennin]

No to the first two questions; ordered on 17th. Site still shows "in process"

Okay, that's where I'm at too. I have never experienced such a crappy service before.

 

[Slermy]

Aside from the link in the original e-mail, is there some other way to check status? Whenever I click "Invoice" it gives me an error.

Still says "Boxed Shipment" on the order page.

Try using your order number on UPS' tracking site under 'track by reference'

I keep wanting to go into the other Ni No Kuni thread, but it will just make it worse. It's like being invited to a great New Years Eve party but can't get there because your stuck in traffic. All you can do is call and hear all the fun being had in the background
